The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) welcomed twenty-six new NASA Explorer Schools, including Johnson Space Exploration and Technology Magnet School, in a partnership to inspire students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Only two other schools in California were selected this year to participate in the program. (Rosa Parks Elementary was named a NASA Explorer School in 2005.) As an Explorer School, Johnson is eligible to receive up to $17,500 during the three-year partnership to help buy technology tools. The program also provides educators and students with content-specific activities that can be used in many local and state curricula to excite students about science and math.
